LIMBO Game

As mesmerizing on iOS as anywhere else, Limbo is a concise and fascinating puzzle platform adventure that really sticks with you.

As dark as it is beautiful, Limbo's mysterious and viscious world sucks you in and holds you captive.

Limbo for iOS is a fantastic port of a classic indie platformer.

Limbo has made the leap to iOS admirably, losing nothing in the translation and only minor quibbles with the jumping mechanics really stand out enough to drop the score slightly. Indeed, Limbo is surprisingly well suited to the sporadic habits of the handheld gamer, with well thought out checkpoint placement allowing you to tackle a few quick puzzles at your leisure whenever you have a spare minute or three and the spine tingling aesthetic of the game benefits greatly from the intimate nature of handheld gaming.

The gameplay, while not overly complex and slightly less fine-tuned as its console cousin, is more than adequate. And the overall package is really quite solid. Playdead knows this and the price tag reflects that polish. But is Limbo worth it? Well, there certainly are no shortage of beautiful physics puzzle/platformers already in the App Store, but there’s not many that can match Limbo’s overall quality.

The same experience we all remember jumps into iDevices, becoming the perfect opportunity for those who haven't played it yet.

The gameplay is simple and intuitive with a perfect graphic and sound. The level of difficulty is high and isn't easy to find any bug in this title.

Limbo is an incredible achievement. Very few games are as original, atmospheric, and consistently brilliant. It belongs in everybody's collection, and this successful transition to touch controls means even more people will get to enjoy it.

What LIMBO did well on other platforms, it replicates perfectly in the iOS version: simple controls, an eerie atmosphere and an experience that sticks in your mind.

Limbo is a benefit to the entire App Store that is a spectacular experience to take part in making it a must buy.

Limbo comes to mobile, brining its monochromatic horror creepiness to the touchscreen.

Is this touchscreen Limbo a perfect port of the original masterpiece? Not quite, and there are certainly moments where you'll cry out for the precision that only a physical controller can provide. Still, these moments are rare enough to ensure that this mobile version remains nothing less than outstanding overall.

A dark and macabre puzzle-platformer, Limbo is always experimenting with new ways to make you think, and new ways to shock you to your core.

Limbo is still a wonderful game even on iOS, but the touch controls makes it the less recommendable version of them all.

Dark, creative and full of tense atmosphere: Limbo on iOS is as captivating as it always was.

Limbo on iOS platforms offers the same quality level enjoyed on the previous editions. A must have classic.

For those who haven't played Limbo before, or for those who simply want to play it again while riding on the bus, you can download the iOS version with confidence that it is just as creepy and well-crafted as on any other platform.

Beyond saying, “Limbo on the iOS is great for people who don’t have an Xbox 360 and want to play the game,” there isn’t much else to this version of the game.
